Purple stems on some seedlings?
GrowAllOutstarted grow question 4 years ago
Why would the plants on that edge of the tray have purple stems? Nutrient deficiency? I noticed the one I checked with a purple stem had more roots showing from the rockwool cube than any others... think they're trying harder to get to the juice cause they got shorted?

Purple stems can be a sign of an issue but if they look healthy it's more likely an awesome genetic trait in my opinion. 🤘😤

Deficiency and assimetric developmentMy girls seem to have a deficiency, strangely enough, the gal with the most signs of deficiency is doing the best in bud production. Any ideas on what is going on here and what is the cause of the deficiency?

Early growth sick plants - photoperiodPurpling stem, yellowing leaves, droopy leaves - I’m thinking nitrogen deficiency, but I’m not sure if I should add more nutrients or not to my current solution or if I should flush completely. PPM is at 850, and the PH is 6.3. What are your thoughts?

Red/purple stems and Stunted growGirl Scout monkey and Funky Magnifera have red stems. I gave nutes a few days ago and it cleared all the red stems except for these two. My PH is 6.3 so idk why this is?? Blood orange haze seems little small and can't tell if its stunted. Should I wait or plant another?Week 3

New red tint on top of branches caused by night of low humidity or other stress?This morning I noticed some branches on my young plants had turned reddish on top.
Last night the humidifier ran out of water and RH dropped to 40% overnight.
Could this just be a stress reaction to that low RH, or sign of a deeper issue?Week 3

Spots on leafs, and lime green topsI am beginning to see leaf damage again, so i would like to ask if you guys could point me in the direction of my problem. I suspect either light damage, or ph issues building up over time. It started before i gave the first flower nutes, tops seem deeper green since that though2 years ago
